The year 2010 comes to merciful end, but what awaits us seems to be much much worse. I am truly afraid for the direction the country takes as the Republican Brownshirts, in league with the gutless democrats, threaten to eliminate our civil liberties until we are nothing more than slaves. So what will happen?

1)Jobs will be created and the will be much media celebration. However, having done my research on ALL new jobs I have come to an inescapable conclusion: none of them pay anything. CBS news did a report on a small business that hired three new workers and was going to hire three more next year. A drop in the bucket for the millions out of work, they almost forgot to mention what they were going to get paid: 12 dollars on hour. No word on benefits but I expect they would have been severely limited. I don't know about you, but I can't live on twelve bucks an hour. ALL new jobs that are being created pay nothing. You can't have a middle class where everyone is poor and working for slave wages. Look at the jobs that say they will train you for a new career. Chef school? You'll pay a fortune to work for 8 bucks an hour. Heating and air conditioning? The same as chef school. You can't change professions, start at the bottom and expect everything to be good. We need good paying jobs and these will disappear faster next year as corporations continue their take over of the government. Government isn't the problem. THIS government is the problem. Giving it to the fascism to come will make things worse. Unemployment will continue upward next year. As we already at Depression Era 23%, I don't know how much more the American people can take.

2)A spectacular terrorist attack with a weapon of mass destruction will occur somewhere in the world. It will be used as an excuse to crack down on civil liberties world wide and paint Muslims as dangerous extremists. They are the new Jews and Muslims everywhere should be worried. Don't fall for false flag operations. The Internet will be curtailed and even gun possession may be eliminated as Eric Holder has said he wants to do. Whether this will lead to civil war is unknown as the American people seem to be going the way of the Wiemar Republic and are accepting the most foul of draconian laws being foisted on us.

3)Oil will hit 4 dollars a gallon by spring and continue ever upward. 5 dollar gas by the end of the year is possible, especially if things go south in the Middle East for some reason.

4) The stock market will crash wiping out anyone not in on the rigged game. Put options will make the rich even richer and wipe out the wealth for the rest of us. The housing market will likewise suffer. Gold will skyrocket.

5)A charismatic leader will arise from the ashes of the Republican party and put the final nail in the coffin that is America. Obama will find himself behind the eight ball as the economy implodes. His chances of a second term look increasingly at odds. 1984 looms.

6) Natural disasters will continue to dominate the news as climate change deniers drool over every massive blizzard that hits as proof that it isn't occurring. Our climate is changing and what no one seems to remember is that after every warming period in history, an ice age follows. This has to do with the Gulf Stream stopping, which it is, and bringing cold across the planet as a result. A solar max appears to be occurring which may set the stage for this climate shift to occur rather suddenly, possibly in 2012 or 2013. The solar storm predicted could end electricity use for months or years. Be prepared to live off the grid.

7)The TSA will continue to rape us, police will become more and more belligerent, and god forbid you speak out about anything. The thought police are coming. Big Brother is here.

8) Governments will fall due to world wide wealth inequality. The internet will be instumental as people see the rich flaunting their wealth with impunity. In this counrty, the wealth inequlity barrier will still not be a deciding factor in Tea Party candiates or supporters. The Tea Party will be a force to be dealt with and will destroy the middle class in this country.

Happy new year everyone. Let's hope I'm wrong about everything written here.

Yes it's nearly the end of 2010 and time for my first annual douchebag of the year column. There was never any debate as to who the real douchebags were as the American people basically said they want a fascist dictatorship set up here because government was the root of all evil and corporations should have all the power. The mind numbing stupidity of this is staggering. Our country nears it's end in an all but inevitable scenario and no one seems to care. Not the press, not the public, nobody. There was an excellent rant on YouTube called Who Cares! where a guy goes off on how idiotic we have become and the level of bulls&*t we have become accustomed to. It's really good. Let's look at this year's runner ups.

1)The Press- In what can only be described as unforgivable, the MSM has glossed over every major story this year. When CBS reporters were ordered away from a public beach by BP thugs, they said nothing. Never mind that BP is a foreign entity and has no legal right to order them away from anything, the fact the Coast Guard was helping them says tons about our rights in this country. It took Jon Stewart, which the NYT accurately called the Edward R Murrow of our times, to call out the MSM about the lack of coverage for the 911 heroes who risked their lives at ground zero and now were getting the shaft once they became ill. The next day the story ran everywhere. HMMMM. The press has been horrific at reporting anything lately and any news gotten from the obvious conflict of interest they posses should be taken with a grain of salt. Much like the government, the news coming from "legit" news services should be held in real contempt.

2)Obama and the Democrats- Proving that they serve the corporations not the people, the democrats have sold us out for the last time. Obama's hope and change seems very similar to the crap that Bush sold us. Other than ending Don't ask don't tell (which still has a lot of hurdles to overcome), Obama hasn't done all that much. His campaign promises were some of the worst kept in modern history where even George W Bush was better at keeping tham. Harry Reid has proved to be just as bad as thought by railroading bills such as 510 which make home gardens illegal and another which gives away federal lands to corporations. The democrats have proven to be no better than Republicans in some cases worse.

3)Republicans and the Tea Party- Nobody did more damage polemically than the idiotic Tea Party that has demanded a fascist dictatorship to set up shop in the US. With their rabid, albeit somewhat understandable hatred of government, the rise of power to big business is far far worse. Business does not recognize the Constitution, Unions or any kind of fair commitments to their workers. The AP has already reported that the new Republicans are going to sabotage years of gains by private workers by giving more power to corporations. With their idiotic denial of climate change, favoritism to the super rich and cutting of services to the poor, this country is going down down down next year.

4)Corporations- With the take over all but over, we no longer live in a free society. From the BP oil spill to the deaths of miners in Kentucky to the poisoning of our water and air, there is no escape from the hell on earth we are going to see. Fascism is our biggest threat and people like Glenn Beck are helping it along. The power of the corporation must end. Unemployment is going to rise and those that have jobs are going to have to settle for making far less than they did. Temp workers are the new thing as they are cheaper to employ and a new study shows most good jobs going overseas. Add that to another study that showed over 80% of workers hate their job and want something else that pays better. Good luck with that.

5) TSA, the police and Homeland Security- Our police state becomes more and more likely with these enties becoming more and more out of control. The TSA has arrested a women for refusing to undergo a pat down and sent shock troops to a pilot for posing videos that show serious gaps in security at the airport. Did they thank him? No they sent armed guards and police to his house to confiscate his gun, WITHOUT A TRIAL. We are being conditioned to submit. Don't. The police are getting more and more hostile which may have something to do with a mostly unreported story about steroid use in the ranks. Homeland Security is flexing their muscle into a big Brother mentality by shutting down websites and having people arrested for god knows what.

6)The American People- With no dissent from the majority of people, we deserve all the blame for everything happening. WE don't matter to anybody and the reason is we have decided to sit back and watch the end happen. The stock market is provably rigged (see stories on 60 minutes or CNBC for clarification), we live in police state and all of our rights are being eliminated. Eric Holder has said he wants to see an end to the second amendment. If that happens, all bets are off because I do believe people will riot at that point. We should be rioting now for all the indignities we have been forced to suffer but not only are we not protesting, we are accepting it. Like sheep. The Tea Party are the new Nazis. Fear them if they ever get real power. So congratulations America, you are Douchebag of the year.

The one thing I want more than anything else this Christmas is for idiot America to wake up and realize the shafting they are getting. Our world has become one cold dark place and everyone else seems to think it's a summer day at the beach. Are we as a species so stupid that we can't see changes when they happen right in front of us? The new Republican governments that will take office in just a few months have all ready signaled their willingness to lower corporate taxes in hopes of stimulating the economy. Nevermind that that is the same reasoning that got us into this mess in the first place. And this is what voters wanted. Really, they did. They were so busy warning us about our "evil" government that everyone was distracted from the rise of corporate power (the very definition of fascism) that the electorate was going to give them. Everyone in this country should be rightfully worried because your days of a free democracy are at an end. The new Republicans want to make it easier for companies to fire you, discriminate, get rid of unions, and basically make your life a living hell from which you have no right or protections. And forget about whistle blowing. That "privilege" will be severely curtailed next year. Enjoy your servitude, America. It's your special Christmas present this year.

Tyranny looms and, as some reasonable people on the message boards are writing, these words are our only weapon. Any rise of violence will give them the excuse to crack down harder. Violence cannot win at this point. However if later they do crack down harder for no apparent reason, only then would violence be the last solution to the desperate. We are not there yet.

A 54 year old woman at an Austin, Texas airport was arrested for refusing a pat down. A rape survivor with a pacemaker, she was understandably upset, but to be arrested to. FOR WHAT? I hope she sues sues sues. She will win too. More of our tax dollars at work.

Like almost everything else that has passed Congress the past ten years, a flurry of new legislation has passed that I can honestly say i have no idea what the long term effects will be. Some, like Health care, the financial bill or the credit card bill all contained really good pieces of legislation. But parts of it are so deeply flawed, poorly constructed or just flat out loopholed to death that they become somewhat worthless. No public option for health care kills the bill. No changes in derivatives for the financial bill or reinstatement of the Glass Steagal Act kills the bill. Failure to regulate credit card interests limits kills the bill. All of this is due to the special interests of this country that are slowly dismantling our democracy. Every bill is being written by big business. The effects on us are devastating.Almost every major city has cromium 6 in their water, a known carcinogen. The reason its there is thanks to Dick Cheney who helped relax clean water and air laws when he was Vice President. This is same guy that Hallburton is going to bribe Nigeria with 200-650 million dollars to keep him out of their court system for crimes he committed while part of Halliburton. Heard about that on the nigthly news? Not on any service I've seen. Overseas papers on the other hand have been very informative. The NYT gets some cred this week for calling out Fox news for what it really is: a hyper-partisan propaganda outlet. And while I agree, I still think it's the best news in town with surprisingly honest reporting being done by Shepard Smith, Geraldo Rivera and Judge Napalatano. CNN is inept and MSNBC is almost too liberal for its own good. Far be it that one of these outlets would expose the actual truth 24/7.One current bill, formally S 510, is supposed to make food safer. What it appears is going to happen is that food is going to be more expensive, jobs are going to be lost and we will end up importing more food from other countries that have no food safety standards. I feel sick already. Plus, it can be read as making home gardens and farmer's markets illegal. Way to go Congress.Another stealth bill being passed has no number, just an attachment to a rider to another bill (which is how S 510 passed as well). It's called The Great Outdoors Bill of 2010 and what it does, I think, is it's going to take over vast tracks of land and then some quasi government agency will take over and exploit it for profit. The reason I say I think is that this bill is impossible to find anything out about it. It exists. Only finding what exactly is in it is some sort of top secret nonsense. The way it went through back door channels after it was all but dead shows the skill our politicians have in one overing the American people.So let's recap the year. Our Constitution is shot, the TSA and the police can grope you at will, your job is not secure no matter who you are, there are now 7 people for every job out there, big business is poisoning us for profit, the government is compiling info on everyone in the country, detention centers are being built for god knows why, the FBI is setting people up for "terrorist" crimes, government no longer operates for the people, and democracy died. We live in a ogliarcy where they use their money for fame, making them important. They are the new royalty. The thing is, people are getting pissed. How long before things explode?

Another no brainer although the Republicans were a close second this week. Three non douchebags who deserve some credit is Obama for finally following through on one of his campaign promises to end don't ask don't tell. It's about time for both him and the rest of the idiots in Congress to get with the times and do what the rest of the world has already done. Joe Lieberman and Scott Brown (two politicians I rather loathe) also gets some kudos for their support of this long over due bill. So congratulations on not being anywhere near douchebag of the week.

1) The guy in front of me at the ATM this week. A word to all those non computer savvy people: Do not use an ATM if you don't know how it works. I watched an older gentleman spend twenty minutes trying to figure out what buttons to press. The card kept going in and out and it appeared he was trying to submit a large sum of cash. When he finally got the bills in, one wouldn't take. He tried again and again to no avail. The worst part was I realized that the "huge" amount was fifty dollars in ones and one dollar wouldn't go in. He spent an eternity FOR ONE FREAKIN' BILL. I wanted to punch him.

2)Republicans- Forgetting the election was only a few weeks back, the Republican party pissed in the faces of their base by signing on to bill that gives the wealthy a huge tax break and will cost over a trillion dollars. The Tea party constituents were rightfully pissed when they noticed that all the talk of stopping the spending was worth as much as one of Obama's campaign promises. When the budget bill came to pass, another trillion dollars was added on, with much Republican support. When the tea party started calling on their senators, the bill was hastily shelved. Mitch McConnell was shocked, SHOCKED, by the level of spending earmarks in there. He must of missed the part where he added ten million in earmarks for his state as well. The bill has been scrapped to get rid of all the pork. What hasn't stopped is the business as usual nonsense coming from both the Republicans and Democrats. Any vote for either party now is the equivalent of being a traitor to your country. Either find a good candidate or don't vote anymore. This crap has got to stop.

3)MSM-Once again the main stream media has missed a major story, something they are very good at. As they missed the BP fallout, the 12 trillion dollars in missing funds and a host of other stories, this can hardly be surprising. This time they failed to mention that Republicans were fighting tooth and nail to stop the 911 responders health bill which would have helped all the brave people who risked their lives to dig out bodies at Ground Zero. This is the same party that can't stop using this disaster to their own advantage but now want to forget about those who actually helped out. Not one word on any Nightly News and only peace meal on the cable networks. For Fox this is astonishing. Avoid the MSM for truth. They're as accurate as the Nazi's were. Congratulation MSM you are douchebag of the week.

As I predicted years ago, the world is headed toward a full blown revolution. All civilizations rise and fall and ours is now headed to the dust bin of history. Apathy, anger and revolution are the last steps of any society. While this country is still mired in anger for some reason, the rest of planet has gone into rioting against the governments taking their last few dollars for the rich. And it seems they have had it. With the attacks on Prince Charles a serious escalation on an exahulted figure head, more can be expected to follow. Rioting has gripped Italy, Greece and now Russia with no end in sight. Ireland and Latvia are experiencing lesser degrees of anger but that may all shift with the further destruction of the middle class worldwide. For the first time in history, revolution is not subject to one country or region but around the globe. The implications for this are staggering. Britain has already said that they may implement martial law to prevent any more rioting from occurring. Good luck with that. If people are that pissed, permits aren't going to matter. They are going to riot and eventually may be too big too stop. Only by addressing the factors that cause the rioting will this end. That idea has fallen on deaf ears on an increasingly evil world empire. It is only a matter of time before these kind of acts come to our shores and I can only imagine what our demonic government will do at that point. Unlike other countries, we are heavily armed. A blood bath may be inevitable. I hope I am wrong because that kind of violence will only make things worse. However, recent actions make me think it is already too late. Clay Duke, an unemployed resident of Panama City, took the city council hostage yesterday after his benefits ran out and his wife lost her job. This was suicide by cop as he could have killed everyone in the room but purposefully shot and missed. Cops cut him down and then Clay finished himself off. The fact he spray painted a V for Vendetta symbol on the wall was very telling. How long before this happens more and more? And next time, the shooter may not miss. Revolution is here and chances it won't be pretty. Peaceful protests are our only hope, mind you ones that aren't going to end and have millions participating. With the level of apathy in this country still sky high, I see it as doubtful. The alternative is too horrible to contemplate.

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

In the past week I had missed a lot of interesting news due to my visit to my mother to help put up her Christmas tree. Obama somehow managed to lynch himself, the Republicans literally pissed into the faces of the base that put them there and Britain got fed up with the bankers there and tried to attack Prince Charles. Wow.Let's start with Britain that showed what may be the first signs of physical violence in an unfortunate turn to all out revolution. Students were beyond angry at new austerity cuts that are going to triple tuition at area colleges, all but guaranteeing million of Britain's won't be able to afford college. In a rare show of both hooliganism and bravery, students attacked Prince Charles and Camilla as their car was swarmed by protesters. Calls of "Off with their heads," could be heard in the background. While I never condone this mindless type of violence, I have to cheer the British as well for being one of the first groups to stand up to the greedy Bankers that put us in this mess to begin with. Iceland may outlaw Visa and Mastercard for their denial of service to Julian Assange (now free on bail) and a world wide shift is occurring that could bode well for the poor and downtrodden. There are more of us than them. Let us make sure they know that in the most visible albeit non violent way possible. Until they crack down with an iron boot, we must stay away from violence as any attacks will be viewed as a reason TO crack down. Let us not go down that path. After this week, there may be hope as light breaks on marblehead with the left and right in this country.In an odd show a solidarity, both the left and right condemned the new tax and spend bill being rushed through Congress. The left is pissed that tax breaks for the rich continue, estate taxes are kept artificially low and a host of other breaks for those who don't need it are being added daily. The right is pissed that this bill is going to add a trillion dollars to the deficit, the exact thing they put Republicans into office to fix. The new Congress isn't even in yet already they ignore the electorate. There can be only one solution to this. Never vote Republican or democrat again. If that's all there is vote for Kermit the frog or Darth Vader or anybody but the two losers on the ballet. Let them try to claim a mandate if they only win by a few hundred votes. Both parties are out to screw you. They will tell you one thing and do another. This cannot stand for one more minute. Obama is proving a failure of Bush like levels whose numbers are plummeting by the day. Likewise to John Boener, Scott Brown and Mitch McConnel whose numbers have seen similar declines. It was recently discovered that Obama's inactivity with BP may have been more sinister than even I first thought. BP contributed 500 million dollars to the government in exchange for an influential position within the energy department, the number 2 position actually just behind Dr Chu. BP is writing our energy laws, the same way Halliburton did under Cheney. And you wonder why nothing happened. We live in a corporatist state, where he who has the most money makes the laws. Our standard of living is set to plummet, worse than now if things go wrong like a crash of the gold or derivative market. We must start protesting, somewhat similar to Britain just less violent. Millions need to descend on Washington, permit be damned and sit there until our demands are met. Here they are:

1)Arrest any banker responsible for the last market crash.2)Arrest any politician responsible for the last market crash which will probably empty Congress and the White House.3)End all tax deductions and simplify tax code. Fire half of IRS agents. Spend more time on wealthier and corporate tax filings.4)Fire everyone from the TSA, FDA, EPA, DEA, ATF, and FBI. Reorganize agencies to better serve the public.5)Legalize pot and decriminalize all other drugs for possession of small amounts. Release all non violent drug offenders and close half of all prisons.6)Remove payroll tax cap for SS. This in of itself will save SS.7)Obey the Constitution again.8)Profile at all airports.9)Exit all war areas. 10)Fight the next war like your survival depends on it, not the half assed way we've been fighting wars for the past sixty years. Can anyone remember a war we actually won anytime recently? If you think back, the best we've done is a tie. Not acceptable.11)Tell the world to go hell when every time they cry we're not fighting fair. War is not fair. Get used to it.12)End religion as a weapon. Any regime using it as a weapon needs to go.13)Stop blaming the Jews for everything that goes wrong. Corporations are the real evil not Mort Goldstein down the street.14)Stop thinking that the right and left are really different. The right has got to accept that abortion is a choice and gays are not going anywhere. The left has to stop treating everyone like children and end over regulation stifling small business.15)Accept that the weather is getting weird. Climate change is real. Stop with the nonsense.16)Turn off Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. They are making you dumber. Both are either retarded or evil as they regularily tell their listeners facts that are provably untrue. The fact that people are buying the "Obama is a socialist" line shows that PT Barnum was right.17)Accept that Obama was born in this country. Nuff said.18) Pick your battles. Everytime one of these idiots above speak the world gets dumber. For example, birthers or truthers who says a hologram hit the WTC are not helping those looking at real conspiracies. Shut the hell up.19)Fix the banks by reinstating the Glass Steagal act, regulating the derivative market, and any other common sense approach.20)End government secrecy.

There was really nobody else who deserved this more than our pussy in chief, Barack Obama. In yet another capitulation to the Republicans, tax breaks for the wealthy will continue but unemployment will also go on. This good news bad news cycle has got to stop. So at a time when the country is going broke, we're spending more and taxing less. THAT WON'T FIX THE ECONOMY. EVER. With a new fascism spreading world wide, it is refreshing to see some of you out there trying to put a stop to it. For all the hackers out there tying up sites like Pay Pal and MasterCard kudos for the first sign of some disobedience in our sheep like ways. It would appear that any vote for any democrat or Republican is wasted as this idiot is doing real damage to us in ways I never though were possible. It turns out the 9 trillion dollars stolen from us didn't include 3.2 trillion in liquidity assets. That kind of money could have gone to so many things but instead rich people got way richer. And that's it. Economies weren't saved, no permanent jobs were created and we're still in the same leaky boat we were in before all of this. One has to wonder if there is something they aren't telling us. Could 2012 really be the end that some have feared? Are governments stealing all this money to pay for underground bunkers to save the world elite? I would normally scoff at such notion, but the fact the MSM seems to have completely ignored this story makes me wonder. Underground digging continues at Denver International airport for no apparent reason and some museums and libraries world wide have closed until after 2012. There could be logical reasons for any of these but the theft of 12.3 trillion dollars and nobody saying boo about it makes me wonder. Regardless, Obama is leading us down a path of fascism the likes of which even I would have been skeptical a few months ago. Homeland Security is unleashing it's Big Brother campaign in places like WalMart and sports stadiums with its Nazish rat on your neighbors campaign. If you see something suspicious you should report it, which is exactly what dictator-like countries do as well. Just ask people who live in places like Cuba and North Korea where that policy has been in effect for decades what it's like. Obama has also increased secrecy ten fold since taking office, another clear defection from his campaign promises of which he has kept exactly zero. I will never vote for this man again no matter who is running and at this point that includes Palin, Huckabee, or Gingrich. I used to scoff when I'd hear people say Obama is worse than Bush. Now I am not so sure. His prosecution of Julian Assange has serious constitutional issues and will most likely end free speech in this country with new bills sent to Congress to "protect" us from things that we should have a right to see. No more secrets anymore. With revolution now occurring one has to ask themselves: Do you want peace or freedom? In today's world, both are impossible. The democrats or republicans are no better with both seeking a new fascist/banana republic. The middle class is dead and your children are going to pay dearly for it. Obama is this week's douchebag of the week. Dick.

Today's political Kabuki theater took a sudden turn for the absurd. Julian Assange turned himself in today to Scotland Yard where he was being held without bail. As a result, all the dirty little details came out about what he was accused of. Turns out, it's nothing. Two spurned whores who slept with Assange and thought better of it, falsely claimed rape when it is readily apparent to anyone with a brain that there is no case here. It would be like arresting Charlie Sheen for sleeping with a woman and never calling her back which is more or leas what happened here. The most "damning" evidence is that he didn't use condom which is NOBODY'S GODDAMNED BUSINESS. Not the state, not the courts, just Assange and his lovers. Unless he held them down and forced himself on them, which it is highly unlikely he did, there is no rape, no molestation, no case. Most people would never have seen the inside of a police station let alone a courtroom with these terrible allegations. One of the claimants once had a website which explained how to use the courts to get back at douchebag ex-boyfriends. And while Assange may be a cad, he didn't do anything illegal. To hold someone without bail for such stupid charges show that the tables and being turned against him. Any idiot out there who still thinks he's a patsy for Israel needs to get their head examined. Countries don't go after somebody this hard unless they really don't like him. The clearing of his name is all but inevitable at this point, short of some kangaroo court convicting him. All of this may lead to new restrictions on the Internet to "protect" state secrets. Bully that, if they try.

Obama likewise saw his presidency go up in flames after conceding AGAIN another campaign promise. Don't ask don't tell, climate accords, job creation, and the public option have all fell by the wayside as he attempts to deal with an increasingly hostile Congress. Dick Durgin and Bernie Saunders threatened a filibuster of the latest bill that gave tax breaks to millionaires. To be honest, the bill isn't that bad as it extends unemployment for a year, gives tax breaks to small businesses and a payroll tax cut for those making less than 109,000 dollars. I do understand the fury at the same time as this President has been the worst ever at keeping promises. Bush was better. Democrats are worried that if they keep pissing on their base they won't have a base left and for that they are right. The last election was lost because gays, young people and liberal whites didn't vote for him. He has got to mvre to the left or face a one term presidency. More as this shapes up.

Proving that we are incapable of thinking ahead in any way, shape or form in our war against terrorism, Al Queda has announced that they are seeking to implant bombs into would be assassins. This has been heard before with breast implant bombs and the failed asshole bomber who succeeded in only giving himself the mother of all colostomies. So what will the TSA do? Probably demand x rays for anyone getting on a plane or the most intrusive searches seen only on women in prison movies. Will the public finally rise up and say no to this or will they sheepishly stand in line naked and cold, waiting to be raped by Phil from Queens. The level of stupidity in this country is staggering. Apparently no one remembers what happened in Nazi Germany. "First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out. Then then came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out. And then they came for me." The sheep don't realize that their freedoms are being systematically destroyed, never to return. Our Constitution has only one amendment left, the second, and that is under constant attack from the idiot left and their desire to have us all live under the iron fist of a true dictator. Our second amendment is all we have left between freedom and tyranny. Don't let any dirt munching, tree hugging druid tell you differently. Philly cops are violating the fourth and fifth amendment with ease and now comes new laws that would allow police into your home if they suspect wrongdoing, even without a warrant. Further abuse of the TSA is being told by celebrities like Fergie and Donna D'Erico who have been singled out for additional screening. Are you kidding me? Right they're terrorists? Or did you just want to feel up a mega hottie or see her naked? Ridiculous. And all this is not making us safe. Just the opposite. No other airport goes through this, anywhere. Tourism continues to drop as who wants to go through this just to get to Disneyland. France and Toyko have their own so why not just go there? Apparently, that's the case because they have seen sharp increases in attendance while the two we have are struggling. HMMMM, I wonder why? This country is becoming more and more fascist day by day and no one seem to care. Conspiracy Theory's episode, talked about here, about fusion centers and detention areas, as well as the stockpiling of millions of caskets, was pulled from re-airing the same night so I am glad I taped it when it was first run. Even that show is being censored. How long before I am picked up for one of these centers. If they try, it won't be pretty.

Not a big surprise as to the winner as she's really a douchebag every week. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Obama- Our pussy in chief has capitulated once again to the Republicans as it appears he will back down on tax increases for the rich. True it will help get unemployment extensions through which is vitally important, but he is without a doubt the weakest president since Jimmy Carter. What is it with Democrats who cannot grow a spine? Carter screwed us in the Middle East for years to come and Clinton's failure to recognize the real danger of a nuclear armed North Korea (albeit he was helped by Carter once again, making him the only president to ever do two massive blunders that would affect national security, one while he wasn't even in office) has had serious current consequences. STAND UP TO THE REPUBLICANS YOU SHMUCK! I have never seen a president so willing to negotiate away everything before even talking with the other side. If we ever have to go war, a real big one, Obama may actually be much much worse than Bush. Let that last sentence sink in. Obama could be worse than Bush. Frightening. That coupled with his inability to stop any abuse of power, nay increasing it, makes me very worried about who we put into office. But when the alternative was a doddering old fool and a retard (both of whom are going to be mentioned below) there really wasn't much of a choice.

2)Television news- This week it was reported by Senator Bernie Saunders and the GAO that 9 trillion dollars was given to US AND foreign banks in the bail outs. That amount of money could have solved every problem this country had, and instead we pissed it away to the billionaire bailout club which is where all that money really went: into rich people's pockets. While this story did spread across the Internet with a lot of coverage and most newspapers, the nightly news didn't mention it all. Shouldn't that be your top story? But no, we are still being spoon fed the garbage story about Julian Assange's idiotic rape allegations that appear to have no basis in reality. There is a reason he hasn't been arrested yet by Scotland Yard and the fact remains that even they are skeptical about the charges. This is one of the biggest stories of the year and few seem to know about it. Ron Paul and Bernie Saunders are also being censored by Congress who don't want this info out there. Shocker. We are being ripped off like never before in human history and most people just shrug and go about their day. Just awful.

3)John McCain-Making me still glad he didn't win the Presidency as I firmly believe the world would be a smouldering husk by now had geezer and VP idiot gotten into office. Hid latest round of stupidity and flushing whatever was left of his self respect, McCain came out against gays in the military again. Let's not forget that he has contradicted himself over and over with this and it's getting less and less funny and one has to wonder how much sense this old fart has left. Can you please just have a heart attack and die already you ancient bastard. Gays in the military and going to happen and no one cares except people raised during the civil war. The fact you were elected along with Gov Brewster makes me wonder what the hell is in the water in Arizona. As my most ardent Republican family members live there, color me not surprised by all this.

4)Philadelphia Police- It has come to light that the Philadelphia Police department has decided the fourth amendment is just a suggestion. Since 2005, random stop and search details have been accomplished on anybody they think looks suspicious. Of the over 200,000 people stopped less than 8% have been actually guilty of something. Mind you some of these may have been stopped multiple times but the fact remains that cops are stopping and searching you for how you look. Profiling (although in this case badly it would appear) is something I would agree with it, but you can't stop someone who is black on a street corner with his hands in his pocket. Profiling is more than just about race or religion it's about attitude. As their success rate is terrible, this policy needs to to be ended. Our freedoms are eroding day by day and no one seems to care. Do you?

5)Helen Thomas-I used to like this woman until it came out that she's a vicious anti-semite with no real undersatnding of world politics. How did this go unoticed for so long? At a recent speech to a detroit Arab league, Thomas went off on Zionist control of Hollywood and politics. She then went on to blame Isreal for every problme that ever existed, including the fall of Rome, the spece shuttle disatsers and Pauly Shore. (just kidding about those). Much like McCain, her reputtation is permanently damaged. Shut the hell up and die quickly, you old crone.

6)Sarah Palin- Douchebag extraordinaire and a real contender for douchebag of the year opened her bitch mouth again this week and demanded Julian Assange be arrested for treason and executed. First, He's not an US citizen, so treason doesn't fit. Second, he hasn't broken any laws. They are trying to get around it, the same way they are trying to shut down sites like this, by saying Wikileaks isn't a real news organization. Which it most certainly is. If the Internet had been around when our Founding fathers made the Constitution, you can bet dollars to doughnuts there would have been a separate provision for it. In the old days, people with enough money or savvy could start their own printing press and roll out news sheets as they wish. Were they legitimate? You bet your ass they were. Just because something isn't funded by a billionaire oligarch doesn't make it less important. I work as a reporter for a living(I know oh the irony) and this site is a legitimate news site, regardless of what you'd definition of news site is. I report the news. Period. As for her calls for his execution, the police should have her and anyone else arrested for incitement to commit murder, a felony in all fifty states. The fact that she's not shows once again the two sets of laws this country has for rich and poor. So congratulations Sarah Palin, you are douchebag of the week.

Thanks to the efforts of Vermont Senator Bernie Saunders, we now know the extent of the bank bail outs. The number is staggering. We were told that the amount was only 700 billion. As if. The real number given to US and foreign banks total 9 trillion dollars. 9-FREAKIN' TRILLION DOLLARS!!! That is insane. In other words, we pissed away more money than God in order to accomplish absolutely nothing. If this doesn't get you mad nothing will. And considering the sad state of affairs in this country and the fact that this story is not even being told tells me that the status quo rules. The people of this country need a serious wake up call. 9 trillion dollars could have given free health care to every man, woman, child, and pet in the US. Every bit of infrastructure could have been fixed. Jobs would have been created like never before and our bankrupt citizens would have been flush with money, saving the economy and the country. Instead, the rich got richer and nothing was solved. What will it take to piss us off? The TSA continues it's grope-a-thon, now being challenged by two Harvard Law students for violation of the fourth amendment. Why does it take two students to know what every lawyer and senator out there should know.? Because they don't care about you. They want to make as much money as possible and to hell with anyone else.With our Pussy in Chief incapable of doing anything of of actual substance, I do have to applaud what I hope will be the democratic senators standing up to the Republicans and make them shoot down tax cuts for middle class people. Have them explain why everyone's taxes are going up because they want tax cuts for rich people. Never mind that the deficit will grow tremendously by doing this and the effects on the country will be slim at best if their tax rates are raised to Clinton era rates. We should be actually be taxing the hell of the rich, especially the obscenely wealthy and anyone, ANYONE, who fights for this should be tared and feathered. If any relative you have says anything positive about this middle class shake down, you have my permission to cram a Christmas tree up their ass.The stock market continues to climb for no apparent reason while unemployment continues unabated. Reports show a big uptick in job growth but a closer examination shows that they are either seasonal jobs or pay far less than what the person who got the job was making. I met four people today who were losing their benefits because dick Republicans are holding up the measure because they aren't paid for. Neither are the tax cuts but those are okay because rich people will benefit far greater than the poor. If we continue down this road, there won't be a county left.I can only hope that the dems grow a spine and finally stand up to the bully Republicans. The time for change is leaving the station and we are all going to suffer as a result. Unless you're rich.

The main reason I write this blog is to demonstrate to all naysayers out there that I am more often right then wrong. Sure I missed another Iranian attack that never materialized but as I am 0-3 on that front I am not surprised. Likewise the expected stock market meltdown this summer never happened but there may be more nefarious reasons for that. Other than that, long time readers will see that unfortunately I have been dead on about almost everything else. This week has been a rouge's gallery of hits that keep on coming. Just about everything I warned people about are now coming true. I honestly wish I had been wrong.Let's start with that bastallion of truth: the US government. In one week, we saw the republicans dig their heels in and tell Obama that they will vote no on just about everything. Massachusetts douchebag Scott Brown helped kill the unemployment extension bill that is going to cause untold suffering on his country. When millions can't pay their bills, what does he and other like minded idiots think is going to happen? Credit cards companies better get ready for a wave of bankruptcies to hit and guess what, you're not getting paid for the most part when that happens. Home prices, which are still 30% higher than they should be, are also going to tumble as foreclosures skyrocket. This will help devastate an already fragile economy. And what is our moron in chief's response? He wants to negotiate with the Republicans ready to compromise on just about anything for their support. He was shocked, SHOCKED, that the Republicans wouldn't make deals with him. Why would they when you're ready to cave on any prospect such as the public option or unemployment extensions. Obama is the weakest President since Carter, a notion that makes me worry how our real enemies are viewing us right now. I'd like to take a metaphorical two by four to Obama's head and scream at him, "THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU." He reminds me of some friends I had in college whose boyfriends would cheat on them at any possible instance and yet they'd always go back to them. I never thought in a million years Obama would be such a pussy. Our economy nears collapse at this rate and Obama deserves more than a little of the blame here.Wikileaks has also shown that China is helping North Korea to the point of harming it's own safety by allowing transfer of illegal components from North Korea to Iran. It has also shown that the Middle East wants us to attack Iran but offer no real help in the matter. These are not things to keep quiet about. As a matter of fact it makes the US look complaisant in the fact that any of these actions could lead to an all out nuclear war. North Korea should have been wiped out decades ago and Iran defeated back in 2005 before they updated their air defense system. But the world's pathological aversion to war and getting their hands dirty could kill us all. China's involvement is tricky but deft diplomatic actions could solve this problem. And if that didn't work, false flag operations do. Set up a fake terrorist attack in China and blame Al Queda. A few of these and any cooperation they have with terrorist states will end and no nuclear missiles need be fired. Problem solved. There has been some discussion that the leaks are part of a US/Israeli plot. And while there is limited evidence to support such a fact, it is highly unlikely. The main reason is the person himself, Julian Assange, does not come across as a US plant but a revolutionary. The fact that trumped up charges are being sought for his arrest would seem to confirm this. Yes, US and Israel come out somewhat unscathed by the latest round of info, but not in the past. And they certainly seem to want Assange out of the picture. If the supposed bank documents he has are that of BOA any doubt as to his authenticity will be erased. BOA is way too connected to not be part of any conspiracy. His actions could be the ultimate anarchistic action in decades. I whole heartedly support him. Keep the files coming and end the secrets.
